COMOX VALLEY -- The Comox Valley School District is hoping to enlighten students and the general public through new alternative energy projects it has on the go. The first is through the creation of the valley's first solar powered sign, a project designed and manufactured through the physics and engineering students of Georges P. Vanier Secondary School. The sign, located on the front of the school's property utilizes a large solar panel which harnesses the sun's energy and stores it as battery power for night time illuminations. Engineering teacher Steve Classen said the project shows kids and the community the potential of solar energy, proving fossil fuels don't have to be relied on anymore. The district had earlier completed a project on the roof of Highland Secondary in Comox. In that instance, water passes through large solar panels heating the water in order to cut down on the school's hot water heating bills. The projects are considered a first step in "getting people excited about solar energy letting them know the district is committed to energy conservation" according to the district's Manager of Energy Conservation, Fred McGregorRead More...[Source: YouTube Videos tagged with solar energy - Posted by FreeAutoBlogger]

An experimental plane, powered only by rays from the sun, has landed safely in Switzerland after successfully completing its first 24-hour test flight. The "Solar Impulse" took off on Wednesday from Payerne airfield shortly after dawn and touched down a day later having proved that overnight solar-powered flight is possible. Clear blue skies meant that the prototype aircraft was able to soak up plenty of solar energy as it made a gradual ascent to a final altitude to 27900 feet or 8500 metres and then flew in darkness using energy stored up during the day. Pilot Andre Borschberg endured freezing conditions overnight and ended the test flight with a picture-perfect landing.

SolarDave: I get a lot of requests by email about people wanting more information on Solar Energy Training, where can people go to get training in Colorado? Stephanie Andelman: So as more people understand solar and the industry grows there is obviously more demand for skilled employees and there are more people wanting to make career switches over to solar. Here today I have had 3 people come up and say, "I am a programmer in the software industry and I want to go in to solar, I am a sales person and I don't sell anything related to solar but I have sales skills, I am a contractor and I would rather build solar than to just build big houses". Every time we go to an event, we are here today to tell people about solar and recruit and acquire customers but have of the people we talk to are interested in a career shift. I read that this (solar) industry will grow to 2 billion dollars in the next 2 years, so there is obviously opportunity for job growth so how do you get trained? And my opinion right now is on the job training. You do it, you learn while you are doing it and in another couple of years we will have to skilled labor force.

Solar Energy! On beautiful Seabrook Island, nestled on the coast just south of Charleston, South Carolina, lies Camp St. Christopher It offers over 300 acres of beach, marsh and maritime forest and multiple facilities including meeting and conference centers, lodging, and worship centers. We're excited about keeping you up-to-date on our progress and informing you about how this project was made possible. The process began last August when the State Energy Office put out information that there were going to be $2.9 million available in grants for alternative energy projects for non-profits. As soon as we found out, we immediately started getting in touch with local Charleston non-profit organizations to inform them about the opportunity. When St. Christopher responded about being interested, we setup a meeting for late September 2009 and went out to view the grounds and start planning. The RFP from the State was issued in early September. The government was looking at multiple factors before approving a non-profit like St. Christopher for the grant. These included visibility of project, potential job creation, overall benefit in terms of investment and payback of the project (they needed a minimum return of $2.50 dollars to $1 spent). The grant writing process was long and hard, but St. Christopher didn't have to worry about that. SES took care of making sure the grant was completed correctly and on time.

Here is a short video of some solar energy farms around the world. Enjoy Solar Energy is energy from the Sun. This energy drives the climate and weather and supports virtually all life on Earth. Heat and light from the sun, along with solar-based resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available flow of renewable energy. Solar energy technologies harness the sun's energy for practical ends. These technologies date from the time of the early Greeks, Native Americans and Chinese, who warmed their buildings by orienting them toward the sun. Modern solar technologies provide heating, lighting, electricity and even flight. Solar power is used synonymously with solar energy or more specifically to refer to the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This can be done either through the photovoltaic effect or by heating a transfer fluid to produce steam to run a generator. Solar photovoltaics provide 0.04% of the world's energy usage.

After three years of speculation about the introduction of a Fit Hybrid, Honda is set to unveil the world�"s first subcompact hybrid next month at the Paris Motor Show this September. Not only will the Fit Hybrid be the smallest hybrid on the market, it could carry the lowest price tag.

A hybrid version will go on sale in Japan in October, and is expected in the U.S. in 2011. As we reported earlier this month, Honda plans to sell the Fit Hybrid in Japan for about $18,600. That�"s approximately $3,500 less than the Honda Insight, currently the cheapest hybrid, and about $4,600 more than the gas-powered Fit. Pricing for the Japanese market does not move in sync with U.S. pricing�but a similar strategy in the U.S. would put the base MSRP around $17,000.

Exact mpg will be released at the Paris Motor Show, which will run from September 30 to October 17, but we anticipate a significant step up from the gas-powered version, which is rated at 28 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. The Fit Hybrid is likely to become the second most fuel-efficient hybrid, right behind the Toyota Prius (51/48 mpg). The auto industry is still figuring out how to rate the fuel economy of plug-in cars, such as the Nissan LEAF and Chevy Volt.

The Fit, marketed as the Jazz in Europe, will use Honda�"s IMA system� an 87-horsepower 1.3-liter engine combined with a CVT gearbox�currently found in Honda's Insight and CR-Z hybrids.

The new Fit/Jazz is updated for 2011�with revised headlights and rear lights, a new front grille, and restyled bumpers and tailgate. Inside, there�"s a darker single-color dashboard and blue-lit dials and instruments. The new hybrid is also available with leather trim, the first time this has been available on a Jazz model in Europe.

www.GreenJoyment.com How to make a solar cooker (*CooKit) from materials you have around the house. The Solar CooKit is the same solar cooker currently in use at the Iridima Camp, and is credited with helping save the lives of thousands of women and children. n 1994, a volunteer group of engineers and solar cooks associated with Solar Cookers International developed and produced the first panel cooker, the CooKit. Elegant and deceptively simple looking, it is an affordable, effective and convenient solar cooker. It requires a dark, covered pot and one plastic bag per day or one high-temperature plastic bag per month. With a few hours of sunshine, the CooKit makes tasty meals for 5-6 people at gentle temperatures, cooking food and preserving nutrients without burning or drying out. Larger families use two or more cookers. The CooKit weighs half a kilogram, folds to the size of a big book for easy transport. CooKits are now produced independently in 25 countries from a wide variety of materials at a wholesale cost of $3-7 US. We expect that the new hand-assembled CooKits will outlast the manufactured CooKits which last for two years. Note that you can either build your own CooKit using the plans below or you can order a pre-built Cookit from Solar Cookers International. Your purchase helps support SCI's work around the world. httpRead More...[Source: YouTube Videos tagged with how to solar]

Fisker�"s new red-hot sexy television commercial does little to change that perception. The images are incredible loaded: A femme fatale in high heels steps past a spent flaccid gas pump nozzle, grabs hold of a charging wand, as a single ice cube slides down the curves of the vehicle�"s body, and the Fisker Karma wheels spins in circles. The female model opens her mouth before the tag line, �SDesigned To Get You Hot, Not the Planet.⬝

This ad represents the boldest attempt so far to sex up the hybrid. Carmakers have been trying to undo the ultra-nerdy image of the hybrid almost from the beginning of the hybrid market in the U.S.: Honda tried it by adding horsepower to the failed Accord Hybrid; Honda is trying again with the CR-Z sporty coupe; G.M. and others tried beefing up hybrids with highway power and towing capacity in SUV Hybrids; and Ford is nullifying unsexy hybrid geekiness by making gas-electric technology an invisible element of mainstream vehicles.

Does Fisker go too far? Not far enough? Is it good for the green car movement? And the biggest question of all: Can Fisker deliver on its increasingly potent promise?

www.EnergyBrainiac.com - How to Make Solar - A Quick And Easy 101 Guide to Solar Energy Production Making a solar at home is quite a daunting task and something that shouldn't be attempted without fully committing oneself to a great deal of work. It may not be rocket science but it is certainly a tricky and laborious process. If you are the type of person who thinks a hammer is nothing but am odd-shaped door stop, it may be in your best interest to leave the solar construction to professionals. Having said that, making your own solar s can really be a rewarding home project and by taking on such a project yourself you can significantly cut your costs - by 50 to 80% - over a commercially available solar . Since the prohibitive cost of solar s is in large part due to the high price of solar cells, you will achieve most of your cost reduction by purchasing damaged and used solar cells from sites such as Ebay. After that, using your ingenuity and some handy DIY skills, the only thing between you and a working solar is time and effort. For now however, let's take on a much more simple task and make a single solar cell. This project is great fun and can show the basic and simple concept behind solar energy. What You Will Need 1. Copper sheeting. 2. Two alligator clip lead cables. 3. A sensitive micro-ammeter you can find this at Radio Shack. 4. An electric stove or a one burner hot plate should you have a gas stove .

The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, a $68,000 gas-electric SUV, will not be a big seller. Like other luxury hybrid SUVs from BMW and Cadillac, the Cayenne Hybrid is more of a platform for technology experimentation�rather than a whole-hearted effort to reinvent hybrids for high living. The Cayenne S Hybrid, Porsche�"s first full hybrid, will go on sale in a few months.

If only a handful of well-heeled buyers will fork over the dollars for the Cayenne S Hybrid, then why should folks interested in hybrids�as a means to cut emissions and reduce use of petroleum�care about this vehicle?

Light and Fast

First, Porsche�"s willingness to shift down in vehicle weight is noteworthy. Porsche reduced the weight of the Cayenne Hybrid by about 400 pounds by using a lighter all-wheel-drive system rather than a 4x4 drivetrain. In addition, Porsche designers replaced heavier steel elements with more aluminum in the vehicle body. The weight trimming still leaves the hybrid nearly 500 pounds heavier than the gas-powered Cayenne V6, but it points to the industry�"s trend toward using advanced materials and forgoing features to reduce weight across all segments of vehicles. These measures are cost-effective strategies for improving fuel efficiency�even if it doesn�"t result in immediate cost savings for Porsche consumers. The Cayenne S Hybrid is about $20,000 more than the gas-powered V6 Cayenne.

The other trend that green car fans should acknowledge is the use of hybrid and plug-in technology in the high-performance segment. We�"ve written quite a bit about green high-tech in motorsports�perhaps best illustrated by Porsche�"s own 480-horsepower 911 GT3 R Hybrid.

Porsche took green speed even further when the company last month decided to put the 718-horsepower 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid supercar into production. The Porsche 918 Spyder is capable of 0-60 mph in about 3 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph. And it will cost approximately $650,000.

The other trend that green car fans should acknowledge is the use of hybrid and plug-in technology in the high-performance segment. We�"ve written quite a bit about green high-tech in motorsports�perhaps best illustrated by Porsche�"s own 480-horsepower 911 GT3 R Hybrid.

Porsche took green speed even further when the company last month decided to put the 718-horsepower 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid supercar into production. The Porsche 918 Spyder is capable of 0-60 mph in about 3 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph. And it will cost approximately $650,000.

Renewable energy payments or feed-in tariffs create jobs by creating a market for renewable green energy. Homeowners and businesses can install renewable energy systems and then sign a contract with their local electricity utility to puchase all of the energy. The purcahse rate is usually four to seven times higher than the rate charged by the utility. This is a set rate on a long term contract of approximately 20 years. This allows the homeowner or business to determine the exact payback time for the e renewable energy system. This also helps create distrributed electricity generation which increases the resilience of the electricity grid. In German, this plan has created over 400000 jobs in the renewable energy industry, and is making Germany the fastest implementation of renewable energy in the world. This job creation system is now under consideration in Michigan, which currently has an over 12% unemployment rate.
